> +Subject: [PATCH] Allow free selection of MTU by the user
> +
> +Various ISPs (or equipment?) seem to hand out an MTU of only 576 bytes.
> +Hwoever, this does not seem to be intentional which is why we would like
> +to manually overwrite this in the configuration.
> +
> +dhcpcd only allows setting a maximum MTU of 1472 bytes which does not
> +seem to have any rationale (any more). Although Ethernet might limit any
> +MTU to less, IPv6 and IPv4 support MTUs of up to 64KiB.
> +
> +This patch allows the user to configure the MTU freely with providing
> +some sanity check.
